Rachel Maddow: "Russia is a podunk country. The idea that we work for him is so humiliating and is such an abject failure on the part of Trump in terms of his weakness. I don't know what Putin has on him, but he works for Putin and it's an embarrassment to this country"

I just found out my 8x great grandfather was the brother of Jim Morrison's 7x great grandfather.
I'm related by blood to a rock star. Wooo! 😄

Hegseth has no clue what “fog of war” really means, he’s just throwing out a term and he’s hoping that will safe him.

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

The reason Pete Hegseth issued illegal orders to “kill them all” is because they don’t want anyone finding out they killed innocent fishermen instead of drug traffickers. They don’t care who they kill.

This is pretty but I think it's not a real photo. It certainly doesn't look even close to the natural aurora I've seen so many times. I checked out the Facebook page and it says that some images are real and some are "creative". Fellow Alaskans, what do you think? #alaskasky

The audio leak of Steve Witkoff advising the Russian side what to do, what to say and how to progress is nothing more but collaboration with Moscow, probably even more. It further confirms what I was writing on Sunday when the US Senators were actively rejected this.

What did Comet Lemmon look like when it was at its best? One example is pictured here, featuring three celestial spectacles all at different distances. The closest spectacle is the snowcapped Meili Mountains of the Himalayas in China.

In March of 1945, the US Army issued this "fact sheet" to guide conversations with soldiers on the topic of fascism, paying particular attention to the ongoing threat that domestic fascist movements posed to the US. Their analysis of what a homegrown US fascism would look like is interesting.
![CRESTRICTED]
ORIENTATION
FACT SHEET
64
WAR DEPARTMENT-WASHINGTON 25, D. C. • 24 March 1945 FASCISM!
Note For This Week's Discussion:
Fascism is not the easiest thing to identify and analyze; nor, once in power, is it easy to destroy. It is important for our future and that of the world that as many of us as possible understand the causes and practices of fascism, in order to combat it. Points to stress are: (1) Fascism is more apt to come to power at a time of economic crisis;
(2) fascism inevitably leads to war; (3) it can come to any country; (4) we can best combat it by making our democracy work.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:miczfsfixolk42l7343z3bpd/bafkreigaks7wgy4rvmszhobeed7hlaqap4mynkhqketipzolmesislssci@jpeg)
